When I run my AVG anti virus, it comes up with a whole load of tracking cookies after it has completed the scan, should I delete these cookies? |

Yes, definitely delete them |

I disagree slightly. Check first to see if they are for trusted sites which you use on a regular basis, in which case it is better to leave them as they are. |

I could be wrong, but I think it is the tracking cookies on Ancestry that not only save me typing in name and password but also remember that I would (for instance) like to view 1861 images at 100% instead of 50% size and produce lists of matching names on a search at 50 a page rather than 10 per page. |

Thank you James, Peter, Ivy and Budgie for all your replies, my scan is due to run in the next hour so I will try and see if there are any not so good cookies when the scan is finished. I just hope I can tell the good from the bad and the ugly!! |
